Why the same font in Java looks different?

Why does the font size on webpages or books looks so small?

  • The font size of many webpages(like quora, facebook, etc) or books written in English looks rather small, I wonder if this kind of font size is normal in western countries because as a Chinese I usually find it tired to watch words that small.

  • Answer:

    It's not the fault of the font but rather the default size of the text set in the webpage's css. In the case of Quora, the font size (.type_size_main) is 15px, which is a full pixel smaller than the typical default of 1em, or 16px.
